I'm heading out to the Squamish this coming Sunday, I'll be targeting bulls and dollies. From what I understand, bull trout are all out predators; they sit and wait in a spot that they're perfectly hidden in until a meal worth exposing themselves comes along. Think big flesh flies, really big, up to 2/0.


Hope that helps.

Not one of my better ties, and my phone camera isn't anything special but there's one of mine.
Edit: Tied on a Mustad Size 4 Streamer with a Conehead.

i have got bulls and dollies on  lot of diffrent flies, some good producers are big leeches, zonkers, steelhead flies, even tiny nymphs under strike indicators. right now your best bet would be egg immitions and flesh flies.

The Fraser is producing well in some side channels. Best flies are egg patterns.
